Bodywork
Reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence
Bodywork is more than physical touch, it’s a holistic approach to restoring balance throughout your entire being. By working with the body’s muscles, fascia, joints, and nervous system, bodywork supports physical ease, emotional well-being, and deeper self-awareness. Each session is guided by intuition and anatomical understanding, helping you release tension, improve mobility, and feel more grounded and present in your body.

Bodywork Modalities
Most sessions blend a variety of modalities to best support your unique needs. A blended session may use two or more techniques to address a specific area of concern, promote full-body balance, or simply bring more variety and depth to your experience.
Each session is designed specifically for you, and can also include Expressive Arts upon request
While blended sessions are common, working with a single modality can also be deeply effective. For example, a session focused solely on Circulatory or Sensory Repatterning can be profoundly relaxing, while Deep Tissue Sculpting or Neuromuscular Therapy might be ideal for relieving chronic pain or tension.
Explore each modality below to discover how it supports healing, release, and reconnection with your body.
Care that adapts to your body
Sensory Repatterning
A motion-based technique, Sensory Repatterning explores the natural movement of each individual through rhythmic rocking, cradling, and passive joint movement. A joy to receive, Sensory Repatterning is deeply relaxing, meditative, and reminds us of our potential for movement.
Structural Integration
Structural Integration is a series of sessions designed to bring your body into greater alignment, balance, and ease. Through precise myofascial techniques and guided movement, this work helps release deeply held tension and restore natural mobility.
Each session is customized to your unique structure, improving posture, breath, and freedom of movement while fostering a deeper sense of connection throughout the body.
Sports Massage
Designed for athletes of all levels, Sports Massage supports optimal performance, recovery, and injury prevention. It improves circulation, releases tight muscles, and reduces strain caused by training. Each session is tailored to the individual, blending techniques like deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, and joint movement to restore balance and enhance mobility.
Relational Somatics
Relational Somatics explores the deep connection between body and mind, helping you release stored tension, emotional pain, and old patterns held in the body.
This approach integrates touch, breathwork, and expressive arts within a safe, supportive relationship, creating space for healing, trust, and authentic connection. Ideal for those navigating stress, trauma, or feeling “stuck” in body or life.
Myofascial Sculpting
Excellent for chronic pain and muscle tension, Myofascial Sculpting uses a series of deep tissue compressions. Pressure is slowly increased as the muscles and connective tissues relax and open up. A Sculpting session focuses on one or two areas of the body and does not use oil or lotion. Passive movement may also be blended with Myofascial Sculpting to promote further release.
Circulatory Massage
Long, flowing strokes promote relaxation and enhance the circulation of blood and lymph throughout the entire body, supporting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues while aiding in detoxification. Oil or lotion is applied to the skin to allow smooth, soothing movements. Depending on your needs, circulatory massage can be invigorating and energizing (Swedish style) or slow, grounding, and deeply relaxing (Esalen style). It’s ideal for reducing stress, easing muscle tension, and promoting overall well-being.
Neuromuscular Therapy
This works helps to break the pain cycle by releasing trigger points within muscle tissue. This is done by applying concentrated pressure to irritated areas in the tissue. Trigger points are knots of muscle tension that refer pain to other points of the body. This therapy is often combined with circulatory massage to help calm and reset the nervous system.
Table Thai
Based on Traditional Thai Massage which takes place on a mat on the floor, Table Thai® is performed on a massage table. This makes receiving the work easy on the neck (a face cradle is used) and is seamless to integrate with other styles. Table Thai® includes rhythmic compressions, rocking, pulling and stretches which open the body and calm the mind. Similar to a passive form of yoga, this type of bodywork can be received while fully clothed (be sure clothes are easy to move in) and can be delightfully combined with Sensory Repatterning.
